题文

Every culture has a recognized (公认的) point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed. In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license（证）, they drive into the grown-up world. "Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school," said Eleanor Fulham, 17. "It's like you're not cool if you don't have a car," she said. According to a recent research, 41% of 16 to 19 year olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay. Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with undergrounds and limited(有限的) parking, some teenagers don't want them. But in rich areas outside the city, if there are no undergrounds, and bicycles are more for fun than cars, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car. But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents stop before letting their kids drive. They need to wait until they are more experienced. Julie Susiana, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner's permit (许可) Chad said he has accepted his parents' decision, although it has caused some laughing from his friends. "They say that I am unlucky," he said. "But I'd rather be alive than driving, and I don't really trust my friends on the road either." In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult? 小题1:16-year-old drivers have more accidents possibly because _______. A．they want to show themselves off B．they are not experienced drivers C．older people always drive better D．they never drive carefully on the road 小题2:Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car? A．How rich the family is. B．Whether the kid is old enough. C．What traffic condition there is around. D．Whether it's practically needed. 小题3:The passage mainly gives information about _______. A．an American culture about teenagers' driving B．a change in the Chinese culture C．a cultural difference between America and China D．the relationship between driving and a person's development 小题4:Which may serve as the best title of the article? A．Cars Helping You to Grow Up B．Driving into the Grown-up World C．Teenagers' Driving in America D．Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult

答案

小题1:B 小题2:C 小题3:A 小题4:B

试题分析：本文叙述了美国青少年学开车及买车是他们进入成年人的主要一步。在美国，青少年在16岁就可以参加驾驶证考试，开车上学。但是，警察认为16岁的青少年，驾驶经验少，容易出车祸。美国的青少年认为开车上学很酷。但是不是所有的家庭能买得起汽车。有些青少年觉得坐地铁和骑自行车更有意思。 小题1:细节理解题。根据They need to wait until they are more experienced.可知16岁的司机因为没有经验，因此容易出车祸。故选B。 小题2:细节理解题。根据At 16, American teens take their driving test.可知获得驾驶证有年龄限制，因此买车有年龄限制。根据Not all families can afford cars for their children.可知买车要考虑家庭是否有钱买。根据In cities with undergrounds and limited(有限的) parking, some teenagers don't want them.可知买车要考虑他们是否需要。因此ABD三项符合文章的意思，故选C。 小题3:推理判断题。根据At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license（证）, they drive into the grown-up world.可知本文介绍的美国青少年，开车，买车的各种文化观点和认识。故选A。 小题4:标题归纳题。根据In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive.可知本文主要讲的美国青少年踏入成年人的主要一步就是学会开车。故本文的标题选B。

据专家权威分析，试题“Every culture has a recognized (公认的) point when a child b..”主要考查你对  政治经济类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

政治经济类阅读

考点名称：政治经济类阅读

• 政治经济类阅读：
  该类文章时代气息浓郁，语言鲜活，但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多，长句、难句多。
  政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容，读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉，经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花，文章看完，一头雾水。
  再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨，同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
  

• 政治经济类阅读注意：
  1、要做好这类阅读，平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事，掌握一定背景知识；
  2、对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解，还要扩展这方面的词汇；
  3、阅读这类文章，要抓住文章的核心，即文章整体和各段主要在说什么，也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。

  政治经济类阅读技巧：
  针对不同体裁的文章，我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式，我们可采取“顺读法”，以便抓关键语句，领会文章主旨；而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式，我们则可以采取“逆读法”，先读试题，再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。
  1. 寻找主干：
  根据英语中五种基本句型结构，把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来，其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干，句子的意思至少明白了一半。
  2. 剔除从句：
  在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句，在理解时，如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解，然后把大意拼凑起来，整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
  3. 辨别分句：
  一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成，句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词，只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系，再把各层分句的意思加以连贯，整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
